Menstruation Is Fast Becoming Optional [ladies]

hmm Virgin guy + the sexuality forum = obsession/cravings hmmm

I do not know why women chose this path n i probably will never know. The period/menstrual cycle from my point of view is a natural thing, part of a woman's body n is programmed to act that way if she doesn't get pregnant, y anyone would try to stop it completely is just weird! granted, we all have d cramps n we get easily irritated n all, but i wouldn't tk no pills to try n stop it. personally, all these pills have a payback just like Karma n whether they like it or not, it'll come back someday when they're all old n worn out! there'a alwayz d risks of HBP, Cardiovascular diseases n ish, is this what we really want, as in pleasure now n pain later?

I would tk pills when i'm sick because what the pills do it try to ''block/numb'' d pain, but in regards to this thread, it's just senseless n human beings messing with nature! we already have pills for cramps n all, me thinks that's enough. personally as long as i don't feel the pain, i'm good to go.

Trust me, they're all harmful. they've all got side-effects n all n these side-effects would rear there ugly heads l8r on in life, also when they all have to take alternative drugs for some other ailments, n they find out they can't take it because if combined, they're in for a whole lotta ish, then they'll know what they've done. No type of drug, be it ordinary Tylenol or Gravol is good for us. we only tk it to ease off pain n mainly because we have no choice. too much accumulation of drug in d system affects d liver n major body organs, this is what comes to mind when i see patients just abusing drugs for d fun of it.

I don't buy the idea, i mean, when there's no period, what makes me feel like a woman? Nana, i wouldn't try it, not because i don't experience occasional cramps but, its jst like going against nature, but in d end, You CAN'T CHEAT NATURE.

Do you know there was a time people were having debates like this about:
- Washing of hands before performing surgeries "it is ridiculous" - doctors
- The use of painkillers in childbirth "it is unnatural because God said women must deliver 'in pain'" - men

We human beings are so predictable and stupid.  We can be relied upon to fight all forms of progress.

Of course there was also a time when people said:

-- Cocaine was a 'wonder' drug, treating everything from tooth-ache to constipation. In fact, the first verions of CocaCola contained cocaine.

-- Breastfeeding was detrimental to mothers. Wet nurses were always employed.

What's there not to like about it?


It is up to the woman to decide for herself whether the benefits outweigh the risks.

As a husband, that would be enough to convince me.  A wife who never gets cranky!

That is very irrational.  Isn't it more reasonable that for a woman who uses the medicines herself to be the one promoting it?  Afterall, if it turns out to be bad, she'll be one of those to suffer, right?

i know i personally get cranky during my period, all moody and all what nuts, BUT I WONT go to the extent to preventing it. Nahhhh

Naah, i don't buy this.

I heard from a nurse that it's not good. Infact i also heard that girls who use "birth control pills" to prevent cramps, is also not good.

Why not let nature take it's cause.

why do peeps keep messing with nature  


whatever happened 2 nature following its natural course  

I agree w/ Scorpio. I'm feeling you girl! I don't like the idea of messing with nature. Nature's tried & true if you know what I mean. And just b/c it does not have side effects now does not mean it won't be linked to anything in the future. Remember, no one thought cigarettes had bad side effects. And silicone used to be injected directly into a woman's breast. My friend told me  a recent study said the birth control pill that is most prescribed to young women - it's economical - has been linked to ovarian cancer. But the medical profession does not tell women & such this b/c they don't want them to use nothing. So, I won't be taking this new drug.

But, as I read, I recognize that women want (sexual) availability & reduction in crankiness while men want the same thing of women. Well for some people PMS (premenstrual syndrome) time is the time of heightened sexual energy (horniness) and/or crankiness. It's a really hormonal thing b/c you can wake up in the middle of the night and feel. . .but enough of me sha. That's just food for thought b/c if you regulate & normalize those hormones and by extension emotions, t/o the month & yearwouldn't it be boring? I don't know. So I don't have that answer.

The female body - don't know about male - communicates problems through it's menstrual cycle. Like if your cycle get off, if it's heavier than usual, lighter, more painful (cramps) etc. I think it's very necessary for young women and while I think everyone should do their thang, I wouldn't let my own daughter do it if she was under 30 - if I can stop her that is.

Fellow nairalanders have said it all about side effects etc,  I personally know people who have gone for the three months injection, or the thingy they insert into your arm etc and who had problems when they decided it was time to concieve,  the major side effect is that it takes a long while for your body to be tuned back to normal so after u stop the contraception it can take up to five years or more to be able to concieve!!!! That's one reason why i personally would not venture into those form of contraception. The pills are very effective, they've been in existence for longer, you still get your period even though it artificially helps u control your hormones. but even the pills don't agree with everyone,  like someone said its economical,  but then again everything is economical, innovation to paraphrase schumpeter is the driving force of capitalism,  so there u go capitalism at his best!!!! srry me digressing from the main topic,

Nairalanders. I'm enjoying this topic. But from what I read r some of ya'll saying that birth control pills/patch arent that safe ? i need to know as a virgin who one , might take that step.

thanks. 

Oh and I almost forgot, just to clarify something.  Coca-cola did not ever contain cocaine.  It contained extracts from the Coca bean which can be refined in to cocaine, but at no time did Coca-cola contain actual refined cocaine.
